Chapter 67: The Poison Scheme

This time, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty discussed in Guangqing Palace, and because they got the news in advance, the ministers couldn't help but discuss in private while waiting for the Son of Heaven. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Indeed, there are visions in heaven and earth, which represent the instability of the country, and I think there must be demons to make so many visions.

Many people know the recent ballads that have been circulated in Jingshi, and they even know that the so-called "Yang Hua" is Yang Lian, but everyone knows in their hearts that there are not many people who dare to say it, after all, what a big thing this is.

Although Yang Lian and Xiao Yan were grounded, they were allowed in advance, and they had to participate in today's court meeting, so the two of them were also impressively listed, Yang Lian looked left and right, and many ministers came today, and even some of the ministers who were only nominal but had no real power also came, such as Zhou Hongzuo's brother Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye looked much better, the complexion on his face was quite good, his eyes were bright, and it seemed that most of his body had recovered.

When Yang Lian was looking left and right, he suddenly felt a cold gaze, and looked at it, it turned out to be Xiao Yan not far away, when he saw Yang Lian turn his head, he hurriedly looked away, and when Yang Lian swept over him, he looked at Yang Lian with a vicious face.

Xiao Yan was beaten that day, and the news spread rapidly like a long tail, almost in one day, in Jinling City, from hundreds of officials to the people of Limin, they all knew that he was Xiao Yan of Dali Temple, and he was beaten instead of arresting people with more than 30 people. He found that many officials looked at him, full of pity, Xiao Yan was very angry, he must avenge this revenge.

When the ministers were thinking about things, Li Jing, the Son of Heaven, arrived, still saluting and singing, and after the ministers were flattened, Li Jing spoke.

There are too many things that have happened recently, and Li Jing first talked about the visions of various places and asked for the opinions of the courtiers. Some of the ministers know, they are silent for the time being, and those who don't know are surprised, this is a sign of national turmoil, throughout the ages, is it not the case, is it said that the Tang Dynasty is going to have a disaster? But no one dared to say this.

Li Hongji, the king of Yan, stood at the front and was silent, because he knew that someone would definitely jump out, and sure enough, when no one dared to come out, Xiao Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, came out first to speak.

"Your Majesty, there is a vision in the sky, there must be demons, Weichen thinks that such demons and evils must be eliminated in order to ensure the foundation of Datang." Xiao Yan said, his voice was quite normal.

Li Jing nodded, that's what he thought, but where is the demon?

Xiao Yan saw the Son of Heaven nodding, knowing that he was affirming his statement, so he continued: "Recently, a ballad has been circulated in Jinling, and the lyrics have these two sentences: 'Li Hua falls, Yang Hua blooms, Yangzhou is extraordinarily bright in March', Your Majesty, Wei Chen thought that this was an anti-song, and someone wanted to subvert the Tang Dynasty and replace it. ”

Li Jing's face was displeased, Datang was thriving in his hands, how could he destroy the country? How can he be the king of a fallen country? Li Jing held back the anger in his heart and asked, "Xiao Aiqing, who do you think this person is?" ”

"Your Majesty, when the previous dynasty was in turmoil, there were similar words, this Yang Hua refers to the person surnamed Yang, Weichen thinks that it is necessary to strictly examine the people surnamed Yang in the court, and even do not hesitate to kill a hundred to prevent future troubles." Xiao Yan said, his goal was already obvious.

Many courtiers began to whisper, Xiao Yan is like this, it is very likely that it is a personal vendetta of the communiqué, but then again, it is not about himself, and those who have a bad relationship with Yang Lian naturally don't care. However, King Qi was a little nervous, he stood up and said: "Xiao Siqing's words are wrong, in the Tang Dynasty, there are countless people surnamed Yang, how can they be killed one by one?" Besides, just based on this ballad, I am afraid that it is too violent to kill all the people surnamed Yang. ”

Xiao Yan snorted softly, almost inaudible. He saluted Li Jingsui and said, "Then between the kings of Qi, what does this mean?" ”

"It's just a few words of ballad, not to be believed, now that the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, and it has just taken Fuzhou and defeated tens of thousands of Wu and Yue reinforcements, where can there be any crisis?" Li Jingsui said.

"Does King Qi really think so?" Xiao Yan sneered, didn't give King Qi face at all, paused, and said, "I'm afraid that someone has a high merit and intends to restore the Yang Wu court!" ”

Li Jingsui's face changed, and so did Li Jing sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Yan often spoke freely, which everyone knows, but what did he want to express when he deliberately mentioned the Yang Wu court at the court meeting? Do you want to tell the ministers that the Tang Dynasty was taken from the Yang and Wu courts? Or do you want to tell the ministers that someone wants to endanger the community?

Li Jing naturally knew that it was the latter, but Xiao Yan spoke like this, which made him very unhappy.

Li Jing looked at Xiao Yan fixedly and said, "Oh? In this way, Xiao Siqing knows someone who intends to subvert the imperial court? ”

"The person who wants to subvert the imperial court is standing in this hall, why should the King of Qi knowingly ask?" Xiao Yan asked rhetorically.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers talked even more, and they stood in the main hall? You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, although there are many people with the surname Yang, there are only two people in the hall at this time, one is Yang Shouzhong, this person is an old minister of the previous dynasty, who replaced Yang Wu back then, and his meritorious service is not small, saying that he is a person who wants to subvert the Tang Dynasty and restore Yang Wu, which is almost not credible.

The other person is Yang Lian, in the eyes of many people, Yang Lian's identity is suspicious, and then the official fortune is prosperous, in just a few years, he has achieved the position of the festival envoy, which is faster than most of the people present, and it is the heart of the beloved daughter of the king of Qi, and it is no secret that the Son of Heaven has made it clear that he wants to give marriage, so many people are very jealous of Yang Lian.

In the main hall, there seemed to be a lot of bees pouring in, buzzing, Li Jing frowned, Gao Ze was on the side, and shouted: "Quiet, quiet." ”

The ministers gradually quieted down, but their hearts were like turbulent waves, and they lasted for a long time.

Yang Lian didn't rush to speak, but waited quietly, Xiao Yan showed his tail, what about Li Hongji? In Yang Lian's opinion, even if Xiao Yan took refuge in Li Hongji, he was just a little minion, and the real killing move should be on Li Hongji's side.

Li Jingsui asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Siqing, do you know that there must be enough evidence to say this, otherwise, it will be slandering the important ministers of the imperial court." ”

Xiao Yan said: "King Qi, you are bent on defending that person, could it be that you are also in the same party and want to subvert the Li family?" ”

Li Jingsui was trembling with anger, he is the imperial brother of the Tang Dynasty, and the country will be hiss in the future, how can he subvert it? This Xiao Yan, has spoken indiscriminately to this point? Li Jingsui blushed, threw off his robe, and stopped talking.

Xiao Yan glanced at Li Jingsui proudly, saluted the Son of Heaven, and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I would rather kill by mistake than let one go." ”

Li Jing pursed his lips, he was naturally willing to do everything for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, but Xiao Yan's idea was too terrifying, and if he wanted to kill all the people surnamed Yang, it would be tens of thousands, which would inevitably cause panic among the people.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was silent, Sun Sheng nodded towards Xiao Yan, walked out, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although Xiao Siqing's words are reasonable, it is impossible to kill all the people surnamed Yang. ”

Li Jing nodded yes, this is not realistic at all.

Li Hongji walked out slowly at this time and said, "Father, after thinking about it for the past few days, I suddenly thought of a problem. ”

The ministers couldn't help but look sideways at King Yan, the dispute between him and the King of Qi was not a secret in the imperial court, most of the courtiers were divided into two factions, one faction supported King Qi, the other faction supported King Yan, only a small number of courtiers, two did not rely on.

After successfully attracting the attention of the ministers, Li Hongji continued: "The thief cave of Princess Yongxing in Yingzhou, the retainers thought that someone had done it on purpose to cover people's eyes. Actually, there is a lot of mystery. ”

Li Jing naturally knew that the matter of stealing the cave was unreliable, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said, "King Yan, what have you figured out?" ”

"Father, stealing the things in the cave will make people think that someone is planting a blame, but thinking about it the other way, maybe someone did it on purpose, the thief hole, from the mausoleum of Princess Yongxing to the other side, stretches for dozens of zhang, although it is broken, but Erchen thinks that someone wants to cover up and cover up others, it is very likely that there is no body in that person's grave, and that person is not dead at all!"

Li Hongji's words were almost a thousand shots, falling on the main hall, hitting everyone's hearts, Yang Lian couldn't help but be slightly shocked, it turned out that Li Hongji's purpose was this, he suddenly thought that in that tomb, there was naturally the body of the so-called Yang Lian, which has now become white bones. But Li Hongji said this, could it be that he has a good plan in his chest?

Li Jing opened his mouth wide and became short of breath, although King Yan didn't say the words of the old prince of the previous dynasty, it was still like a huge stone, pressing on his heart, making him breathless, he couldn't help licking his somewhat chapped lips, and said, "King Yan, what did you say?" He, not dead? ”

"Erchen just inferred that he was not dead, and when he opened the coffin, he would know at a glance." Li Hongji said.

Yang Lian was behind him, pursing his lips, he suddenly realized that Li Hongji's preparation this time was very sufficient, and his growth rate in the past half a year was too amazing.

Li Jing and Li Jingsui glanced at each other, and almost at the same time, they said three words: "Impossible." "yes, how is that possible? At the beginning, the corpse of that person, both of them saw it with their own eyes, although the face was burned by the fire and was a little blurred, but Princess Yongxing cried to death, and it was impossible for her not to recognize her husband's body.

Subsequently, the body was sent into a coffin, firmly nailed, and it was impossible to escape even if it did not die. After so many years, that person has turned into dry bones, how can he not die?

Li Hongji's face was pale, he bowed slightly, and said, "Father, whether it is or not, just go and dig up the coffin and open it to see." ”

At this time, Zhou Ye, who was standing not far from Li Hongji, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, King Qi, Weichen thinks that King Yan is reasonable, what the matter is, as long as you go over to check it in person, you can see it at a glance, and there is no need to guess here." ”

Li Jingsui was very hesitant, he naturally didn't believe that person was still alive, let alone that Yang Lian was that person, but seeing that Yan Wang's party was so arrogant, he was a little dissatisfied, but it was difficult to refuse.

Li Jing pursed his lips and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Come on, pass the order, and drive Yingzhou!" (To be continued.) )
